Can your body actually reject someone?

[miss2017]

Me and my boyfriend of nearly a year broke up last June after an argument (he broke up with me) and the day before that I got a UTI (urinary tract infection) after having sex with him.

 

We were separated for a month and then came back together in late July.

 

We spent one week together, had sex, and 2 days later I got a yeast infection. Was really unwell and had to take antibiotics and of course we stopped having sex for 2 weeks for me to recover.

 

The day after we started having sex again, I got a UTI again. Was also really unwell and had to take antibiotics and again we stopped having sex for another week.

 

Then we had sex again and a few days later the UTI reappeared. I went back to the doctors and started taking a new antibiotic. So of course we stopped having sex again, and I started to feel better.

 

Yesterday we had a very bad argument and he took all his stuff from my house and broke up with me.

 

Today I feel sad and heartbroken but feel myself again. I feel now I am getting my health back and feeling better.

 

So do you think this was all my body actually rejecting him? And telling me to stop being intimate with this person and get away from the relationship?

 

I have never had a vaginal infection before and it was many many years ago I had an UTI (can't even remember when).

 

Just find all this too much to not pay attention.

Perhaps this is a matter of bacteria and hygiene or possibly the specifics of his person skin microfauna (regardless of hygiene), rather than something autoimmune related (which is what your post title seems to suggest)?

 

 

 

Possibly emotional stress/your mood is impacting your immune system and/or general energy level a bit along with it, too.

Here's the common cycle: Get a UTI, take antibiotics, and the antibiotics give you yeast infection. It's happened to me countless times, but fortunately didn't happen the last couple (maybe because I'm older, not sure). You can try waiting a couple days after the last antibiotic pill and then taking a spoonful of yogurt a couple of days and some say this prevents it. But remember not to eat yogurt while taking antibiotics or they'll get wasted attacking what's in the yogurt instead of the other infection and nullify it out. But wait a couple says after and it's okay and will replenish the healthy enzymes.

 

If that doesn't work, go get inserts for it at the drugstore.

As a believer in natural healing and alternative medicine,Id go along with the openers thoughts here,

 

its similar to a persons body rejecting certain medications and certain foods and drinks,

 

some medications and foods will make your body sick and it rejects them in the form of vomiting or getting rashes etc,

 

yes your body is rejecting this guys fluids,

 

the human body has a remarkable ability to heal but it also has an ability to reject what is not right for it.

if you keep servicing it with what is not right for it, its ability to heal will decline.

 

listen to what your gut is telling you,and what these urinary infections are telling you, he is not for you,

 

your health is more important, you will get over the heartbreak.

I only got yeast infections and UTI when my ex husband cheated.

 

Nice huh? It tipped me off every time.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if your body can reject someone. And if this guy wasn’t being super-rough or having marathon sessions, I’d have to wonder about his hygiene. Also, you probably know this, but it’s not a bad idea to pee right after sex.

I've been through cycles like this - stress can upset your body to a point where it succumbs to all kinds of infections. For me, recurrent UTIs and yeast infections are what happens.

 

In this thread you talk about how stressed you've been with him wanting to be with you all the time. About how it got so bad that you had to ask for time away from him. This could easily account for your body getting sick repeatedly.

[Veronica73]

Also, any time I get a UTI and have to take antibiotics, I just automatically ask for a prescription of fluconazole at the same time, because that’s most likely what is going to happen. The antibiotics will cause a yeast infection. So might as well have the fluconazole on hand.

If your not having sex with protection, I would give it a shot.

Possible ur bacteria and his (or whoever else he is with) doesn't mix

Yes, it's completely possible. One guy I dated got an odd rash shortly after we started having sex. After STD and UTI tests came back clean, he went to a general doctor who informed him it was "just an allergic reaction" that would eventually go away. It cleared up in a couple weeks.

 

That being said, I don't think it's your body "telling me to stop being intimate with this person and get away from the relationship". Sometimes these things just happen, and sex can be complicated and weird. Unfortunately, as a woman who's had multiple UTIs, you're very likely to keep getting UTIs the rest of your life. Just be sure to always urinate before and after sex and make sure you keep cranberry juice on hand.

I broke out in a full body rash before my wedding so yes, I think you’re allergic to him.

I broke out in a full body rash before my wedding so yes, I think you’re allergic to him.

 

Wow. That sounds like a story of your body leading the way.

[amaysngrace]

Wow. That sounds like a story of your body leading the way.

 

Yes, definitely. I tried calling a few dermatologists but all new patient appointments weren’t until after the wedding.

 

It cleared up but it was so strange. I totally believe in that stuff.

Thank you everyone for your replies.

 

Me and my boyfriend broke up and voila, it was also the end of UTI's and antibiotics and feeling sick! Just like that, days later after we broke up I felt much better.

 

Yes indeed our bodies communicate with us and tell us what our minds are still not understanding. I think I would probably continue being sick if we had not broken up and kept having sex.

 

He was a bad match to me in many ways and I am relieved now (in the emotional and UTI way).

[Eternal Sunshine]

Yes this happened to me a lot. During the time with my last bf, I developed a really bad skin rash. I went to many doctors and they couldn't figure out what it is. It persisted for 3 months. After we broke up, it went away within days

Although I too believe it's possible for our bodies to know something before our minds do, I also know that UTI's and yeast infections are pretty common when having unprotected sex and plenty of it.

 

Stress is also a big factor to consider too.

 

Although I haven't had a yeast infection since I was a young teenager, I have experienced regular UTI's, especially with new partners and when sex is often and frequent.

 

Eventually you learn how to minimize infection; urinate right after intercourse, particularly if he ejaculated inside you, drink plenty of water and especially cranberry juice every day, take a good probiotic daily, limit your dairy intake (particularly if you want to avoid yeast infections) and of course, be super diligent with your vaginal hygiene.

 

And that goes for HIM and his penis as well.

 

If it persists, your doctor will likely send you to a specialist to see if something bigger is going on. Although it's normal to experience these symptoms, it's not normal to NEVER get over it.

 

Good luck.
